That’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweet-slamming conservative news outlets, specifically the Daily Caller, for how they handled a fake nude of her that went viral earlier in the week.

While the image was quickly debunked as just another bit of internet trickery, the Daily Caller still ran with this headline:

Ocasio-Cortez slammed the publication for its “completely disgusting behavior” and also took aim at the broader Republican Party. “GOP have been losing their mind + frothing at the mouth all week,” she said, “so this was just a matter of time.”

The Daily Caller, which was founded by Fox’s Tucker Carlson, changed the headline to “Anthony Weiner Mistress Stands Up for AOC After Evil Internet Trolls Spread Fake Nude Photo” and added a correction at the bottom.

A Fox News spokesperson said Carlson is no longer involved with The Daily Caller.

“Tucker Carlson does not finance The Daily Caller in any way, nor does he have any role whatsoever in its editorial operations.”
